Chatting loudly four boys enter Lily's shop. They stop talking once they're inside and look around confused.

"She's not here man," Aaron whispers quietly.

They take one last look around and attempt to leave the shop again without Lily noticing them, but she did hear them entering.

"Hello boys," she greets them.

The boys all turn back around with an innocent expression on their face.

"I'm not changing to wedding colours to green and white Kieran, if that's what you're here for," the younger girl smiles sweetly, already been warned by Sophie that Kieran wants to put a bit of Celtic in the wedding.

"Oh that's not what we're here for," Kieran replies quickly. "We're here for Ben, he wants to win back a girl." The Scot pushes Ben forward and Ben cusses under his breath.

"Is that so?" Lily asks curiously. "What exactly did you do?"

Embarassed Ben looks at the tip of his shoes. How the fuck do you explain what he did?

"He ghosted her after they slept together," Aaron speaks up with a big grin. That's how.

Lily's eyes widen. "Why'd you do that Benji?" she gently slaps him on the back of his head. "Didn't know you were such a wanker."

"I'm sorry, will you help me please?" he whispers.

"I'll help, but I think it's going to take a whole lot of flowers for that."

All the boys turn their heads the other way when they hear the door to the backroom open.

"It's her," Martin says quietly, so only Kieran can hear.

"It is."

The curly haired girl walks towards them with a nervous smile on her face. "I have to go Lily, see you tomorrow," she says softly. She gives the boys a little wave and leaves the shop. The four boys follow the young girl with their eyes.

"Why do I get the feeling you aren't here for Ben's bird?" Lily says while shaking her head. "Just leave Lianne alone."

"We just wanted to meet her okay," Aaron says. "But Ben does need you're help, we didn't make this story up just to see Lianne."

Lily sighs. "Okay, choose your flowers Ben. I'll deliver them around noon. I don't think she'll appreciate seeing your face."
